Josh was such a great guy. I had the privilege of getting to know him and we shared many laughs together. He made such an impact on so many lives and will be missed every day. I know that you are in a much better place Josh, no more pain or suffering. My condolences go out to the family in this time of grief.

I was so sorry to hear that Josh passed. It is a big loss. He was our neighbor in Texas for just a short time. He was so kind..he would do anything in the world for us. We are an older couple. He helped us at our home out of the goodness of his heart. My condolences to the family. He will be missed.

I was in complete shock hearing this terrible news. I grew up with Josh and have very fond memories of him from our days in Simsbury. I send my love and strength his family and all who loved him. Rest in peace, Josh.

So saddened to hear of Josh's passing. A shining star gone too soon. Thoughts and prayers for all. My sincere sympathy.

I am so sadend to hear the loss of your wonderful son and brother Josh. I cherish the memories of the years shared with our wonderful Oakwood
Team families. Joyce McOmber

I played soccer with Josh for many years growing up in CT. As the team goalkeeper, I counted on Josh more than anyone else because he was the last defender...the sweeper. We always had each others back and I’ve never had a longer and closer relationship with any other athlete. Josh was the heart of the team and a natural leader. I have many fond memories of our time together.

Thank you, Josh. RIP.



We are so very sorry to hear of Josh’s death. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I had the honor of playing soccer with Josh which began at Oakwood and continued through college. He was a true leader on and off the field. He cared for his teammates as if they were family. My condolences to his family. RIP my friend.

Josh was a wonderful friend and teammate. He was a warrior on the field and kind and caring off it. Growing up there was no one I spent more time with than Josh. I am forever grateful for that and will cherish the memories of our time together. My deepest condolences to his young children and his entire family. Josh, may you rest in peace my friend.
